I'm officially done watching this. Too much bad for me to stay involved, I don't like Bulk Head being back but with a different personality, I don't like Bumblebee being his movie version, I don't care about the humans and the story line is just boring.

Maybe it's too harsh for me to say that considering that I didn't watch so much episodes from the show (stopped watching this after Darkness Rising Part 5) but I wasn't impressed with it thus far and I hate the CG animation, it's nothing like Transformers: Animated.

"Shadowzone" was pretty cool, although it's kind of a downer that Skyquake could only come back as another mindless, snarling Dark Energon Zombie. And I'd like to believe that Miko HAS learned her lesson, but I wouldn't put money on it.

The 'alternate dimension' aspect of the groundbridge malfunction was pretty cool, and a further plus is that they didn't introduce another one-shot character, AND Megatron is back up and running finally and back to his old self - though for lack of doing the smart thing and killing Starscream outright, he should have at least smacked him around a lot more or at least taken an arm off already. I also liked seeing Ratchet finally get some time 'in the field'.

I really like this show so far, although there's a couple of spots that still need to be worked on if this thing's supposed to last as long as the producers are planning.

I love that this series is really character driven and that Optimus And Megatron are portrayed properly . Season 1 has been very awesome so far the action has been great and the character development has been so strong . So much better than Bay's trilogy.

no kid in fifteen years will recall what was going on in the haze of animated card game shows where cat faced japanese children yelled annoyingly and danced around and shot mushrooms out of their mouths.

"Nemesis Prime" I have to admit was a pretty nifty reworking of a tired old concept - namely, the 'evil clone of Optimus Prime' bit. And I think it can be assumed with relative safety that the end of this episode is paving the way for something on the order of either Autobot X or the Headmasters/Powermasters/etc.

I'm worried about the next episode, though - the previews (and general concept of the plot) give the distinct impression that it's going to be a clip show...seriously, already? It better have a damn good wraparound, that's all I can say.

So, this is on Netflix now and I decided to check it out...I figured it'd suck like the previous incarnation. but wow, I REALLY like it. The first few episodes I found the humans annoying and they still are somewhat...but this show feels as close to G1 as any show has ever gotten. I'm really enjoying it a lot.

Well I'm actually liking the show so far and thrilled I am that Cullen and Welker are back in their respective roles. Don't mind the change in Megatron's voice as he seems more laid back like the Beast Wars Megatron, but it's still Welker so I'm not complaining. Either way he still sounds great. There's definitely hints of classic Megatron in there.

Still don't like why Bumblebee has to be like the movie counterpart.
Cliffjumper was awesome despite his early exit.
Don't mind Soundwave being mute actually.

Major gripe: Miko is ANNOYING!!!! Why do these writers persist in creating such annoying characters? Reminds me of Pepper in Iron Man: Armored Adventures. She needed to lay off the caffeine too actually. People say that Scrappy Doo was annoying back in the day. I actually had no qualms with him strangely enough.

Verdict? I'll continue watching, and hoping for more characters to be introduced further on down the track. Noticed Wheeljack is coming - COOL!!!

Transformers: Prime is awesome. I would love to see the powers-at-be for this show tackle the Dinobots. Cause I love the dinobots. Arcee is my favorite next to Prime. Great battles between her and Arachnid.

i do understand not wanting to give it a chance though. Prime with lips, Bayformer designs.

but they are pretty respectful to the source material, and integrate it pretty decently.

Started watching this on Netflix a few months ago because I heard good things and read about Hasbro restarting TF canon starting with War For/Fall Of Cybertron which would lead into this show and I gotta say.. It may be the best Transformers show since Beast Wars (Season 2).

well besides this, the first transformers movie, beast wars, a little of the armada and transformers:animated I am now slowly getting hooked on Transformers again. I don't know why I stopped watching it in the first place. Between the movie Bumblebee in Transformers Prime and chatty Bumble Bee in Transformers animated I don't know why they tried to make a nice medium. The only other qualm I have about Prime is Miko. She makes Sauri from Animated looks good imo.
